With a slight cold and no appetite this week, my running really suffered. I won't be doing a long run this weekend--only four or five miles--or next weekend, as I'm having all four of my wisdom teeth extracted on Friday, March 27. My two top wisdom teeth are erupted. My two bottom wisdom teeth are impacted. The two top ones will be pulled out--it's as simple as that. It's not so simple with the two bottom ones, which will have to be cut in half and extracted using special elevation tools. I assume I'll be in some pain and unable to run for at least a few days. I have to use prescription mouthwash (as seen in the only photo of mouthwash appearing in this post) for the two days prior to the surgery and for the ten days following the surgery.
I'm in the market for a more supportive shoe for only my long runs. The Nike Free 3.0 do not provide enough support in the latter miles of my long runs when my feet start to get sloppy. There are about 200 miles on my Frees (see photos above). They have held up better than expected. I plan to continue using them for my weekday runs.
